The Power of You
Zaina Orbai
Collaborative Growth Catalyst | Intentional Systems Thinker | Trusted Partner and Coach
After over 20 years of leading a dynamic career in executive leadership roles and successfully scaling two hyper-growth companies through IPOs (NYSE: YELP, NASDAQ: REAL), I started organically being sought out by C-Suite Executives for advice and coaching. In the last 5 years, I have interacted with over 100 Founding CEOs through advisory work, investor pitches, executive team and board discussions.
I am a trusted advisor during pivotal periods of change. To do what’s best for your company, ultimately it all starts with you. It’s simple, investing in your growth will help your business thrive and be a multiplier for others. As a trained Energy Leadership Coach, I focus the spotlight on YOU. I help clients raise their awareness, unblock challenges, and shift their energy to become the leaders they choose to be.
Here is a video where I share more about my ‘why’.
“Have you ever felt the world doesn’t understand your ambition? Nearly 40% of all US businesses are led and founded by women, and less than 10 women founding CEO’s have taken their company through an IPO, ever in history. Shocking, right?
“The number of women entrepreneurs is growing, and this gets me excited about the opportunity to partner with leaders who are changing the face of business. These are leaders who are disrupting big industries, challenging outdated norms, and building products that will reshape our community.
“I’ve had the privilege to work with several startups and I’ve been through two successful IPO’s. I’ve also interacted with over 100 founding CEO’s as an operator, advisor, investor, and now coach.
“I know the unwavering commitment, resilience, and grit it takes to build a company. Our society often downplays the fact that courageous leaders need support. We often look at these individuals and think they’re fearless, they have it all figured out, and don’t need any help. In reality, you are facing daily hurdles just like the rest of us. And the truth is, real strength comes from knowing you can’t do it all alone. I’ve been part of some of the most complex business challenges, working alongside CEO’s and top executives. From my own experience, I too, have felt uncertain despite the outward calm.
“You know the feeling when the stakes are high and every decision matters. It’s in those moments of discomfort when transformation can happen.
“The biggest pitfall I’ve noticed is leaders get overly focused on the business and forget to invest in themselves. I get it. You’re accountable to shareholders, investors, customers, and employees — everyone needs your attention. This can feel distracting, overwhelming, and exhausting. It can also make you feel isolated. At times keeps you spinning in circles or worse, sends you on a downward spiral.

“If you’re feeling stuck, don’t brush it off, don’t ignore it — get curious! Take a moment to dim the noise, tune in, and ask yourself questions.
“You may not have the answers, but that’s where the coaching begins.
“It’s a sign that there’s something incredible waiting to be discovered within you. This is why top CEOs and the best executives partner with a coach they trust, who will ask you bold questions when no one else will. Coaching creates a space for you to focus on yourself and your goals. And in doing so, you will be a multiplier for others and your business.
“I believe we all deserve to be surrounded by people who raise us to new heights. My hope is you may surprise yourself and realize the power of what you’re truly capable of.
“I am on a mission to help women and diverse CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and executives grow in life and business.”
